About Purple dye
The Purple dye is a free-to-play item in Old School RuneScape.
"A little bottle of purple dye"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 221 and 603 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 372 gp. About 1,401 units changed hands per day. The price is down 49.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 150 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 7 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 3 gp, which is 99.2% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
